Meaning

The meaning to this song is that you shouldn't trust everyone because people will betray you and leave you. "You left me bleeding on my knees and far from home". This shows that the artist singing this has been ditched by someone he thought he can trust and he no longer can. "Liars, they're f**king everywhere" this is saying that there are liars everywhere no matter where you turn. 

Narrative

There isn't a clear story behind this song but if you listen to it you can picture a story where someone trusted their friend and they always get let down by them. this is evident in the lyrics because it says "I'm done, trying to hide these scars.. You left me bleeding on my knees and far from home". 

Impressions

My impression on this video is that it is truthful and makes me feel like i relate to the song because i can see that there are liars everywhere. It also makes me feel like i can understand what they are saying by quickly going through the lyrics. The Lyrics are simple and relatable so it is a good song to listen to no matter what mood i am in. 

Imagery and Symbolism

There is no symbolism in the song, it cuts straight to the point with what they want to say through the song. However, this song could symbolise a friendship that was built on trust and is no longer there because the trust was lost.
